A small group of bottlenose dolphins, five adult females and two male calves, swim into the shallows at Monkey Mia some 850km north of Perth. These dolphins that glide through the warm and lively waters of the Shark Bay World Heritage Area and Marine Park are one of the true wonders of wild Australia. Wild dolphins cruise daily into shore to receive fish from the hands of specially trained Rangers

| Monkey Mia Dolphins History | |
Since the early 1960s, dolphins have been seen swimming around the shallows and in 1964, a local woman Mimm Watts handfed dolphins from her husbands fishing boat. Over the next few days they came back for more, then other dolphins followed and a pattern of feeding was established.
It is totally up to the dolphin when to the dolphins will come into the shore. They usually come in the morning and it is a very rare day when the dolphins fail to visit Monkey Mia at all.
